October Break, Part 1...

We spent some glorious days on the coast of Kenya to relax during our October break this year. Our good friends Mike and Ronnie invited us down to their place in Kilifi and we enjoyed the sun, sea, wind, sea turtles and lots of hammock time, the perfect way to kick off our break. We also went on a dhow excursion on Kilifi creek, into the mangrove forests, and saw a lovely variety of birds. The highlight was seeing up to 5,000 carmine bee eaters soar in the skies and then zoom in to roost on "bird island" - that was amazing.
